Study for a Painting of a Costume Ball Given by the Princess of Sagan, 1883. This watercolour is a study for a painting entitled "Fête chez la princess de Sagan," (1883, private collection) that was produced to commemorate a ball held in 1883 at the Sagan mansion near Les Invalides in Paris (now the Polish embassy). Therefore, the inscription on the back of the watercolour: "Study for a party at the Durazzo Palace, executed for Monsieur the Viscomte Henri Greffuhle" is partially incorrect.
